Hi all,

does anybody know the p2 installer exists only for three platforms?
Shouldn't it be available for all supported platforms? Otherwise how can
people use a p2 repository to install something in Solaris for example?

Regards,
Axel

The installer is only built for three platforms because it isn't really
actively being developed by the p2 team, it is more of an example.

The director application can be used to install things on any platform, and
also cross platform.

Hi Andrew,

thank you for your helping clarification. Indeed I already used the p2
director successfully.

Greetings
Axel
